When I graduate from college I would like to become an Art Therapist. I would like to become a successful Art Therapist and eventually open my own practice where I work with mostly kids but adults when they need me as well. I want to be able to sit down and help the child or adult draw or paint, sew, or even make pottery !
. The video is made up by Deb Shoemaker, an art therapist. This video explains the different colors and symbols that the cliant may use and what it means for them. When the cliant draws something an art therpist is suppose to examine the piece of work as best as they can and observe each detail and break it all down from color to color. Also each line and detail the cliant had used. Although colors can have different meanings the cliants just use what is available. Always ask what they drew and why they choose the symbols they did. Hopefully the cliant is able to explain to you why they choose that particular symbol. The particular video relates to my subject quite a bit. It gives me and the reader an idea of what the art therapist really look at while the cliants are working.
